There's something wrong with her
"I have a feeling we'll become good friends in the future."
Jiang Qing said firmly.
The onlookers: It’s the same as not saying anything. It’s better not to listen to the truth.
To Ye Meiyan, this answer was like a glass of water when she was healthy; it was neither beneficial nor harmful. She remained silent, reached out, took a strawberry, and put it in her mouth.
The fresh fragrance of fruit filled her mouth, and she casually wiped away the remaining water droplets on her hands with a tissue.
"but--"
Jiang Qing suddenly changed the subject and gave a relatively reliable answer, "The most important thing is that I've developed a strong interest in photography these days, especially in taking beautiful portraits."
"When it comes to beautiful people, of course you are the first one that comes to my mind. You are the most beautiful girl in our class who has been on the top of the list for years."
She actually wanted to say the school belle, but their school was not very good and there was no school belle voting activity, so everyone had a default class belle in their minds, but had no idea about the school belle.
As the class beauty, Ye Meiyan did not participate in the formal voting, but she was definitely worthy of the title.
The girl was a little slow in wiping, is that a compliment?
This was the first time someone called her like that in front of her.
Then she raised her eyes and gave Jiang Qing a gentle smile, "It's my honor."
Jiang Qing: As expected, no one believes the truth, and half-truths are more convincing.
"Ah! Jiang Jiang, when did you become interested in photography? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Do you already know how to take pictures? Why don't you take two pictures for me?"
Song Shuang excitedly grabbed Jiang Qing's arm. How enviable it was to have a little sister who could take pictures.
Jiang Qing's head was shaking, and she pushed Song Shuang's hand away: "Okay. But I don't have any equipment right now, so I may have to use my phone for the time being."
Song Shuang was satisfied. Any mobile phone would do. She wasn't picky, as long as it could take beautiful photos.
Lin Nanyan, who was sitting aside, looked at Jiang Qing hugging people left and right, and silently wondered how many people she would hang under the pretext of taking photos.
Also, she said he was good-looking before, and now she says Ye Meiyan is pretty. In her eyes, are there any ugly people?
Ye Meiyan leaned over to throw away the tissue, then looked up and met Lin Nanyan's gaze.
She was slightly startled, nodded at the boy, and then looked away.
Lin Nanyan also turned to look at Jiang Qing.
He has been thinking about a question these days, but still has no answer.
There seemed to be something vague blocking it, inconspicuous but real, making it difficult for him to touch the truth.
Now that vague feeling of abruptness is back again.
And the source of all this starts from that exam.
What was it that he had overlooked?
He fell into deep thought.
Once the first game is over, the next round begins.
The bottle was pointed at Wang Huaqiang.
Song Shuang suddenly became more excited than ever: "Choose quickly."
Wang Huacheng slowly looked at the people around him and said, "Tell me the truth."
When playing the game of Truth or Dare among friends, the focus is usually on the first half, because everyone wants to dig out the unknown secrets buried in other people's hearts, rather than the big adventure that may lead to various difficult-to-deal-with accidents.
He naturally understood this principle, so he was very smart.
Song Shuang raised her hand: "I have a question." She asked the people around her: "Does anyone have any questions?"
Seeing Song Shuang's positive attitude, everyone shook their heads and no one competed with her.
"Why don't you have lunch with us?"
This question has been buried in her heart for a long time. Every time she asked it, he avoided the question. This time, she had to make him respond directly.
Song Shuang is ready to go.
Jiang Qing was concentrating on eating the skewers on her plate. These were the non-spicy charcoal-grilled skewers specially customized for her by her classmate Lin Nanyan.
Although she wanted to refute Lin Nanyan countless times, when she thought about it, this was her promise, she could only swallow back the words that were about to come out.
You have to finish the road you choose even if you have to crawl on your knees.
However, skewers without chili peppers are really soulless.
Fortunately, her father took into consideration that some of his classmates might not be able to eat spicy food, so he specially made a non-spicy version of the secret sauce, which was very fragrant when coated.
Otherwise she really wouldn't be able to eat a single bite. Who understands the pain of people who love spicy food?
While eating, she noticed that Lin Nanyan seemed to be distracted, so she ate one colorful pepper at a time, stuffing her cheeks until they were bulging.
This one doesn't have chili in it, so it's slightly spicy.
It shouldn't be considered a breach of contract on her part.
She heard Song Shuang's question while chewing. To be honest, she didn't expect Song Shuang to ask such a common question.
She had many answers to her question, such as liking to eat alone, having relatives in the teaching group, or not being able to get used to eating in the cafeteria.
There can be countless reasons.
She thought this was an easy question to answer until Wang Huaqiang became visibly silent.
Jiang Qing: No, is this question so difficult to answer?
Song Shuang also had a thousand question marks in his head: "What do you mean by not speaking?"
You don't still want to escape, do you?
Wang Huaqi lowered his head and didn't look at anyone.
He said, "I choose the big adventure."
Song Shuang looked at the boy in front of him in disbelief. The boy seemed to be confronting everyone with a silent attitude.
In her impression, Wang Huaqiang always responded with a smile and had almost no temper.
He was the kind of person whose existence was easily overlooked, because she had long been accustomed to seeing boys as soon as she turned around.
But now, for the first time, she discovered the edges of this boy.
It was also the first time that she realized that she seemed to have never seriously understood this boy from the beginning to the end.
Song Shuang looked at him and said half-jokingly, "You can't afford to play around like this. You said you were telling the truth, so why did you change your mind midway?"
Wang Huacheng pretended not to hear and simply repeated, "I choose dare."
This tough attitude made Song Shuang unhappy.
She felt that she hadn't asked any out-of-line questions. It was okay if the boy didn't want to answer, but at least he could speak in a gentle manner and no one would blame him.
But it's hard not to be angry with him now.
Jiang Qing's alarm radar beeped, and she realized that something was wrong with the two people. She quickly put down the colorful peppers in her hand. If the two of them continued to hold back, they might get really angry and force their anger out.
"Great Dare! The last round was truth or dare, and this round is Dare."
"It would be so boring if I always told the truth, why not..."
What's worse? She couldn't figure out the specific actions that followed. She had only played this kind of game once, and she gave up after playing the beginning. She didn't know how to do this.
Jiang Qing's eyes darted around, and when she saw Lin Nanyan, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"How about this," she turned around, feeling incredibly clever, "you send a message to your pinned contact saying... just say you're drunk and need someone to pick you up, how about that?"
She remembered Lin Nanyan saying that he was Wang Huaqiang's pinned post.
At that time, she found it incredible that Lin Nanyan held such a high position in Wang Huazheng's heart.
You wouldn't guess that Wang Huaqi is such an emotional person, so she remembered this point for a long time.
Now, as long as Wang Huaqiang calls Lin Nanyan, the awkward atmosphere of the game will pass and everyone can play happily together again.
She winked at Lin Nanyan and asked, "Am I smart?"
What does Lin Nanyan think?
Lin Nanyan just felt confused.
As soon as he came back to his senses, he was faced with the girl's grimace. He: ...
Jiang Qing was laughing when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why does it seem like she is the only one laughing foolishly? Where are the others?
Looking back at Wang Huaqiang, the boy still had his head down and was motionless.
No way, no way, she groaned in her heart, she could also step on this landmine.
Brother, is there a person growing on your thunder spot?
Why are you still playing Truth or Dare? Let’s pack up and play Minesweeper together.
Song Shuang glanced at the boy from the side and said, "Are you going to change your mind again?"
The overly quiet boy's eyelashes trembled, like a dying butterfly struggling.
Hearing Song Shuang's unhappy voice, he paused for a long time and took out a black cell phone from his pocket with his overly thin fingers.
"How about... let's change..." Jiang Qing said weakly, but was interrupted by Song Shuang before she could finish her words.
"And then, changing one doesn't work, so you have to change another. Are you still going to play this game? If not, you'd better end it as soon as possible."
She hated people who were always dithering, especially Wang Huaqiang.
Wang Huaqing pursed his lips, hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed the number.
In full view of everyone, someone on the other end picked up the call in less than a second.
They only heard the boy say in a very soft voice: "I'm drunk, can you come pick me up?"
After he finished speaking, he looked up and around, as if to confirm that everyone had heard him clearly repeat the words as required. The next second, before the other party could react, he whispered, "I'm sorry, I was just playing games. I haven't drunk any alcohol, and I'm not drunk. I'm sorry to bother you."
The person on the other end seemed to be instructing them on something, and they could only hear the boy repeatedly saying "hmm," nodding obediently, and finally hanging up the phone.
Song Shuang: That’s it?
This is just a lonely game, can this be considered a big adventure?
Although she felt that the atmosphere was not right, Jiang Qing still wanted to say that this was not the way to play the adventure game in her impression, right?
Shouldn't Wang Huaqi stop after speaking, wait for the other party's reaction, and then explain.
The most fun part is watching the various magical reactions from the other side.
Wang Huaqiang explained so quickly that she felt that this was not a game of dare, but a joke.
But then Wang Huaqiang's constantly ringing phone made her realize that it might not be a big adventure for others, but for Wang Huaqiang it was indeed a big adventure.
Every time the phone rang, Wang Huaqiang would pick it up within three seconds.
Then nod, agree, and hang up.
Nod, agree, and hang up.
Repeat continuously.
It happened so many times that even the thick-skinned Song Shuang felt that something was wrong.
It was just a joke, or even just an excuse to get drunk.
What's more, he explained in the next second why he still attracted so much contact and attention from the people in the other party's address book.
Jiang Qing looked at Wang Huaqing.
This was the first time since she had traveled through time that she looked at him so seriously.
Fair face and light lips.
At this time, his eyebrows were slightly drooped, and he kept listening to the phone obediently. A strand of hair hung down from one side, covering one of his eyes.
The boy sat there, looking obedient but with a hint of annoyance. Jiang Qing discovered that the boy when he was not smiling was like two different people when he was smiling.
If I were to use future words to describe the boy in front of me, he could probably be called a melancholic boy.
The boy's increasingly clear face gradually replaced the already somewhat blurred outline in my memory.
Jiang Qing and he had not seen each other for a long time. The last time they met was three months ago.
He suddenly came to her that day and said some irrelevant words.
She listened to his words casually, thinking that he was also driven crazy by work. She even agreed with him and agreed with everything he said.
After all, the mental state of contemporary workers is to go crazy anytime and anywhere.
He's just saying some nonsense, what's so strange about that?
Who wouldn't be driven crazy these days?
In addition, she was also very busy at the time, busy finishing her own projects and preparing to open a new studio. All the trivial matters piled up on her desk, making it difficult for her to distract herself and think deeply about the deeper meaning of his words.
She just thought that after she was busy for this period of time, if Wang Huaqiang still had any difficult problems to solve, they could find another opportunity to talk.
It was not until now, looking at the boy in front of her who seemed to be hiding many secrets, that Jiang Qing realized that some things are missed and they are missed forever.
He hadn't looked for her in the past three months;
After that busy period was over, Jiang Qing had some free time, but for one reason or another, either the timing was wrong, the place was wrong, or the distance was wrong. In short, she never asked those questions again.
At that time, Jiang Qing felt that the future was still long and there was plenty of time to create.
Now, facing the still young Wang Huaqiang, she thought, perhaps those words will eventually be buried deep in time and will never be heard again.
What did he want to say to her that day?
Jiang Qing's brows darkened, and she suddenly realized that everything seemed not as simple as she had imagined in the past.
Wang Huaqiang was not simply going crazy.
She had misunderstood him.
Lin Nanyan watched Wang Huaqiang hang up the fifth call he had received. Judging from the situation, if he guessed correctly, his phone would continue to ring.
"Why don't you go back and deal with this problem first and stop making people worry," he asked.
Wang Huaqiang, who had been busy answering the phone, only looked up and came back to his senses when he heard Lin Nanyan's question.
He noticed that everyone seemed to be waiting for him and that he had messed up the party.
He thought that as long as he was there, the bad atmosphere would continue.
Obviously, at the beginning, he just wanted everyone to have fun, how could it suddenly turn out like this?
This couldn't go on any longer, Wang Huaqiang stood up.
"Sorry, I have something to do and I have to leave first." He turned around and apologized to the people around him.
Before anyone could respond, his phone rang again.
Wang Huaqiang could only answer the phone while picking up his things and hurried downstairs.
Ye Meiyan could still vaguely hear the boy's words, which became increasingly unclear: "Mom, I'm sorry..."
The rest of the words could no longer be heard clearly due to the distance.
The four people left behind looked at each other.
Song Shuang: "Am I going too far? I shouldn't have pushed him."
Jiang Qing waved her hands, lifeless: "Add me, it's all my fault, why did you bring up the phone call?"
She felt like she was now phobic of the telephone ringing.
“Ring, ring, ring—”
Jiang Qing was startled by the sudden ringing of her cell phone.
Who? Whose phone is this?
She turned around following the sound and saw Ye Meiyan answering the phone with her jade-white fingers. When Jiang Qing looked at her, she gave her an embarrassed smile.
What can she do?
Facing the beauty, Jiang Qing could only respond with an even brighter smile.
Ye Meiyan listened to the voice coming from the phone. It was very noisy on the other end, with all kinds of sounds mixed together.
The person opposite was talking, she frowned and her tone was slightly deep.
"I said I had something to do."
I don’t know what was said over there.
Jiang Qing only saw Ye Meiyan raise her eyebrows slightly and said casually: "So what?"
Ye Meiyan at this time was nothing like the gentle girl she was on campus. Instead, she had a frivolous air.
From these words, she vaguely realized that the person on the other end of the phone might have something urgent to do, and Ye Meiyan was rejecting the other party because of their party.
More importantly, they were just having a casual gathering here, not a very important one. Jiang Qing wasn't afraid of delaying other people's business, so she sympathetically whispered, "We're going to be disbanding soon, too."
Upon hearing this, Ye Meiyan raised the corners of her lips to indicate that she heard it, and then she quickly ended the call with a "hmm".
"I'm sorry, since it's almost time to leave, I'll leave first."
She picked up the small bag she was carrying and said, "By the way, this is a gift I brought for you."
Jiang Qing looked over and saw a box of perfume sample sets.
"This is something I specially asked someone to mix. It has fruity, woody, floral, and other notes. Basically, it's a complex scent. I hope you like it."
"besides--"
"They are all samples. Because they are custom made and time is very tight, the first batch of styles is produced in very small quantities."
Ye Meiyan didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, and was still carefully introducing the various fragrances to them.
"If you like it, you can tell me, or if you have any suggestions or preferences, I should be able to create a fragrance that better suits your preferences next time."
Her tone was as if she was talking about an ordinary matter, rather than having specially found an expert, expedited the production from design to formulation, and requisitioned an entire laboratory, just to formulate a few bottles of perfume samples that matched her impressions of several people in just a few days.
Song Shuang was shocked by this. It was the first time she had seen a custom perfume and felt the charm of a rich woman.
Wow, is this what it feels like to have rich friends?
She can! A thousand times she can.
Jiang Qing took it and sniffed it curiously: "Oh my god, thank you. We love it."
Lin Nanyan was not interested in the perfume. He looked at Jiang Qing and fell into a trance.
Ye Meiyan reminded, "There's also Wang Huacheng's copy. Please forward it to him."
"I'll be leaving first, no need to see me off."
Jiang Qing watched Ye Meiyan walk away gracefully when her elbow was suddenly nudged. Song Shuang whispered slyly, "So you're that kind of person. I was wondering why you suddenly invited her."
"Well done, Jiang Jiang."
Jiang Qing rolled her eyes: "What kind of person am I in your eyes?"
Song Shuang was speechless and stammered: "Oh, he is a very good person anyway."
"Really, I can't tell at all." Jiang Qing smiled fakely.
Isn't it the rich woman's luster that gleamed in her eyes? Song Shuang guiltily changed the subject, "Everyone has left, and we're full. All that's left is to finish. I'm going to the bathroom and will come back to help you clear the table."
Jiang Qing: No need to say more, your reaction betrays you.
As several people left the rooftop, leaving behind a mess, silence quietly descended.
Jiang Qing rolled up her sleeves and was about to clear the dishes when suddenly a familiar hand reached out and turned the glass bottle.
The green bottle spun and stopped, slowing down until it pointed at her.
Jiang Qing looked up in confusion.
What does he mean? Isn't the game over?
I only heard Lin Nanyan's cold voice ringing in my ears: "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
"What?"
Jiang Qing was confused for a moment when asked this question.
"For example, your grades suddenly dropped, you suddenly started reviewing the basics, you suddenly asked me about fate, you inexplicably became interested in photography, and you unexpectedly invited Ye Meiyan..."
More importantly, he did catch the change in her attitude towards him, though subtle.
And all the changes started from that exam.
Starting from that exam, Jiang Qing became extremely agitated. Also starting from that exam, Jiang Qing seemed to have lost her memory, and everything had to be overturned and started over again.
Everything the girl did said something was wrong.
Lin Nanyan always felt that something unexpected had happened when he knew nothing about it.
The boy's series of insults made Jiang Qing dizzy.
"besides--"
Lin Nanyan pointed to a corner of the table and said, "This is a plate of garlic shrimp tails that no one has touched from beginning to end."
Jiang Qing followed his movements and looked over.
